Josh White was a singer, song writer, guitarist, actor and a civil rights activist. As a child he accompanied blind street singers who paid him to guide them to their gigs. Very quickly he would master the guitar. He began recording under the name "Pinewood Tom" so that his mother who was a devout Christian would not know that he was performing the "Devil's music". His music has been categorized as Blues, Folk, Gospel and social protest songs. One of his most memorable recordings is “Strange Fruit”.
